Career

=Summarised race history=

Biaggi is a 13-time Premier Class race winner. He is a 4-time 250 cc World Champion, 2-time World Superbike Champion and 3-time runner-up in the Premier Class in {{MGP|1998}}, {{MGP|2001}} and {{MGP|2002}}.

After winning 4 consecutive 250 cc titles in {{MGP|1994}}, {{MGP|1995}}, {{MGP|1996}} and {{MGP|1997}} Biaggi moved to the 500 cc class in {{MGP|1998}} and immediately finished runner-up to Mick Doohan with 2 victories with Honda. This earned him a move to the Factory Yamaha Team in {{MGP|1999}}. In his 4 seasons with Yamaha Biaggi collected 8 victories and finished runner-up to Valentino Rossi in {{MGP|2001}} and {{MGP|2002}}. Then he moved to Camel Honda in {{MGP|2003}}. But only managed third place in the championship in {{MGP|2003}} and {{MGP|2004}} beaten by not only Valentino Rossi but also Gresini Honda rider Sete Gibernau. A sole winless season followed in {{MGP|2005}} with Factory Honda Team and Biaggi was replaced by Dani Pedrosa for {{MGP|2006}} even though he got 4 podiums and a 5th place in the championship. This proved to be Biaggi's final season in MotoGP.

In 2007 Biaggi switched to the Superbike World Championship finishing third overall as a rookie and earned his first Superbike World Championship in 2010 becoming only the second European from outside the United Kingdom after Raymond Roche to do so.{{Cite web | url=http://www.worldsbk.com/en/news/latest-news/4444-max-the-first-italian-wsbk-champ.html |title = Max the first Italian WSBK Champ}} After winning a second Superbike World Championship in 2012 at the age of 41, Biaggi retired from racing. But he came back in 2015 in Malaysia as a wildcard to get a podium at the age of 44.

A consistent rider, In all of his 8 seasons with MotoGP/500 cc Biaggi finished inside the top 5 in the championship standings and 3 times as championship runner-up in {{MGP|1998}}, {{MGP|2001}} and {{MGP|2002}}. Winning a race for 7 consecutive seasons in the Premier Class from 1998 to 2004. Biaggi's 13 wins, 58 podiums and 23 Pole Positions in the Premier Class makes him one of the most accomplished riders to not win the MotoGP World Championship.

=125cc World Championship=

Biaggi was more interested in football as a child. But in 1989, after he was given a motorcycle for his seventeenth birthday, he began his racing career in the 125cc class at age eighteen. In 1990 he won the Italian Sport Production Championship. Following his success in 125cc, Biaggi moved up to the 250cc class.

=250cc World Championship=

In 1991, Biaggi finished second behind British rider Woolsey Coulter in the European 250cc championship on an Aprilia RS250, and that same year he finished twenty-seventh in the Grand Prix motorcycle 250cc world championship riding for the same manufacturer. In 1992, Biaggi completed his first entire season in 250cc Grand Prix for Aprilia, and finished the season fifth overall. In that same season he took his first victory in Kyalami, South Africa. The following season, Biaggi joined Honda, and finished fourth in the championship standings, including a single victory in Barcelona. In 1994 he returned to Aprilia and dominated the 250cc Grand Prix class by winning three consecutive world championships in 1994, 1995 and 1996. In 1997, Biaggi again returned to Honda, riding for Erv Kanemoto's team, and won his fourth consecutive title. Following that, he moved up to the 500cc class.

=500cc World Championship=

Biaggi made an impressive start in his 500cc debut, qualifying on pole, setting the fastest lap and winning his first race in the 1998 Japanese motorcycle Grand Prix at Suzuka, riding for the Kanemoto Honda team. He was also victorious at the Czech Republic Grand Prix, where he almost crashed when he accidentally did a 90° wheelie,{{Cite web|title=Max Biaggi - Best Wheelie save ever - YouTube|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ysdguQwNoU&feature=youtu.be |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/varchive/youtube/20211213/_ysdguQwNoU |archive-date=2021-12-13 |url-status=live|access-date=17 August 2020|website=www.youtube.com}}{{cbignore}} and finished the season in second place behind Mick Doohan. Biaggi then joined Yamaha to battle against the dominant Hondas. He finished fourth in 1999, third in 2000, and second in 2001.

In 2002, Biaggi rode the four-stroke for the first time as development on the new motorcycle remained strong throughout the season. He won in Brno, Czech Republic{{cite web|work=Crash.net|publisher=Crash Media Group|url=http://www.crash.net/motogp/news/70966/1/biaggi-victorious-as-rossi-gets-tyred.html|title= Biaggi victorious as Rossi gets tyred. |date=25 August 2002|access-date=22 July 2015}} and Sepang, Malaysia{{cite web|work=Crash.net|publisher=Crash Media Group|url=http://www.crash.net/motogp/race-report/71297/1/magnificent-max-defeats-rcvs-at-malaysia.html|title= Magnificent Max defeats RCV's at Malaysia. |date=13 October 2002|access-date=22 July 2015}} to clinch runner-up in the championship behind rival Valentino Rossi. In 2003, Biaggi finished third in the MotoGP championship after rejoining Honda on the Camel Pramac Pons team and won races in Pacific Grand Prix{{cite web|work=Crash.net|publisher=Crash Media Group|url=http://www.crash.net/motogp/race-report/73213/1/biaggi-reigns-after-motegi-mayhem.html|title= Biaggi reigns after Motegi mayhem. |date=5 October 2003|access-date=29 July 2015}} and Great Britain after Rossi penalised.{{cite web|work=Crash.net|publisher=Crash Media Group|url=http://www.crash.net/motogp/race-report/72712/1/biaggi-takes-win-after-rossi-penalised.html|title= Biaggi takes win after Rossi penalised. |date=13 July 2003|access-date=22 July 2015}} It was expected that Biaggi would be one of the main candidates for the title in 2004. He won in Germany{{cite web|work=Crash.net|publisher=Crash Media Group|url=http://www.crash.net/motogp/race-report/74382/1/biaggi-beats-barros-for-german-gp-victory.html|title= Biaggi beats Barros for German GP victory. |date=18 July 2004|access-date=23 July 2015}} but a crash in Estoril saw his season begin to fade.{{cite web|work=Crash.net|publisher=Crash Media Group|url=http://www.crash.net/motogp/race-report/74615/1/rossi-takes-clinical-estoril-victory.html|title= Rossi takes clinical Estoril victory. |date=5 September 2004|access-date=26 July 2015}} At the end of the 2004 MotoGP season Biaggi finished the championship in third place, behind Sete Gibernau and series winner, Rossi.

Biaggi started the 2005 MotoGP season as an official factory Honda rider, joining American racer Nicky Hayden on the Repsol Honda Team with technical director Erv Kanemoto. It was hoped that continued cooperation with Kanemoto and the full factory support from Honda would make Biaggi one of the main title contenders in 2005. However, Biaggi finished the season in only fifth place.

Biaggi lost his ride for the 2006 season, his position filled by 2005 250cc Grand Prix champion, Dani Pedrosa. He negotiated with Honda, Kawasaki, and Suzuki, however, was unable to land a contract even with the backing of major tobacco sponsor Camel who ended up signing up to be the factory Yamaha squad's title sponsor for 2006. On 10 January 2006, Biaggi posted on his website that he would not take part in the 2006 MotoGP season.

=Superbike World Championship=

File:Max biaggi wk sbk assen 2007.jpg

Biaggi attempted to reach an agreement to race the Superbike World Championship for Corona Alstare Suzuki in {{SBK|2006}}, but the team could not commit to equal equipment with their existing riders, {{SBK|2005}} champion Troy Corser and Yukio Kagayama. As a result, he took a sabbatical, but on 14 September 2006 Biaggi announced he had signed to replace Corser in the team for {{SBK|2007}}.

Biaggi began the season by winning the first race at the Losail International Circuit in Qatar and finishing second in race two. In doing so Max Biaggi became one of only five men to win their first Superbike World Championship race, and the only rider ever to win his first Superbike race and his first race in 500cc Grand Prix. He then finished 3rd and 4th at Phillip Island, Australia.

After a hard championship Biaggi finished third, behind World Champion James Toseland and Yamaha top rider Noriyuki Haga.

At the end of the season, Francis Batta, Alstare Suzuki Racing Team director, was forced to release Biaggi, due to the loss of the main sponsor Corona Extra, as they could not reach financial agreement. Furthermore, Suzuki decided to stop official Superbike development for {{SBK|2008}}, instead focusing on the MotoGP championship. For {{SBK|2008}} Biaggi replaced team manager Marco Borciani as a rider at his Team Sterilgarda/Go Eleven, riding a satellite-works Ducati 1098RS alongside Ruben Xaus.{{cite news | url=http://www.superbikeplanet.com/2007/Oct/071030a.htm | title=Biaggi Signs With Sterilgarda Ducati WSBK! | publisher=SuperbikePlanet.com | access-date=30 October 2007 | url-status=dead | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081203114652/http://www.superbikeplanet.com/2007/Oct/071030a.htm | archive-date=3 December 2008 }} He finished seventh overall with seven podiums, three places ahead of Xaus and one ahead of factory Ducati rider Michel Fabrizio.

For 2009 he joined the returning factory Aprilia team. He took a double podium in round 2 at Qatar, and scored solid points before taking their first win since the return at Brno, after race leaders Fabrizio and Ben Spies collided. He finished a close second behind Spies in race two there, and finished the season 4th overall.

Biaggi continued with Aprilia for 2010, taking a double victory at the team's home race at Monza to move up to second in the standings. Another double in the USA gave him first place in the championship, after previous leader Leon Haslam failed to finish in race 2.[http://www.crash.net/world+superbikes/news/159572/1/biaggi_savours_perfect_result_on_home_soil.html Biaggi savours ‘perfect result’ on home soil]

In August 2010, Biaggi signed a renewed, two-year contract with Aprilia to remain with the team in World Superbikes until 2012.{{cite news | url=https://www.carolenash.com/insidebikes/news/biaggi-signs-aprilia-2012/ | title=Biaggi signs with Aprilia until 2012 | publisher=Insidebikes | access-date=3 August 2010 | url-status=dead | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120225100036/http://www.carolenash.com/insidebikes/bike-sport/biaggi-signs-with-aprilia-until-2012.htm | archive-date=25 February 2012 }}

In 2010, Biaggi became Aprilia's and Italy's first Superbike World Champion.

2011 was a year of mixed results for Biaggi and Aprilia. He only managed 2 wins at Aragon, Spain and Brno, Czech Republic. Even though he was in contention for the title due to multiple second-place finishes, Biaggi fractured his left foot in Germany which caused him to miss 2 rounds: Imola and Magny Cours.{{cite news| url=http://grandprixrankings.com/racing-results/max-biaggi/2011-2012/|title=Max Biaggi 2011-2012 Racing Results|publisher=GrandPrixRankings.com|access-date=13 June 2012}} Biaggi ended the 2011 season in third place (303 points) and tied in points with Eugene Laverty.{{cite news|url=http://grandprixrankings.com/gp-standings/2011-worldsbk/|title=2011 WorldSBK World Championship Standings|publisher=GrandPrixRankings.com|access-date=13 June 2012}} Biaggi would go on to win the 2012 title by only a half point over Tom Sykes. Following the season, Biaggi retired from racing. Three years later, Biaggi would briefly return to racing as a wildcard for Aprilia.{{cite web|url=http://www.cycleworld.com/2015/06/19/cw-interview-max-biaggi/|title=CW INTERVIEW: MAX BIAGGI|last=Guidotti|first=Maria|publisher=cycleworld.com|date=19 June 2015|access-date=13 September 2015}}
